• Asthma
• Wheezing
• Persistent cough
• Bronchitis
• Pneumonia

Developmental & Behavioural Concerns

Parents may sometimes notice differences in their child’s communication, behaviour, learning or developmental milestones.

Dr Goh can provide an initial paediatric assessment for concerns involving:

• Delayed developmental milestones

• Behavioural concerns
• Attention-related concerns
• Possible Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)

Further developmental assessment or referral to an appropriate specialist may be recommended where necessary.

Infant & Child Echocardiography

Infant and child echocardiography is also listed among the paediatric services available through Dr Goh’s practice at SR Women & Children Specialists.

An echocardiogram uses ultrasound to produce images of the heart and may be recommended when a doctor needs additional information about a child’s heart structure or function.

The need for echocardiography or further cardiac assessment will depend on the child’s symptoms and clinical findings.
